Chapter 271

She was hugged and stood still, smelling a faint fresh smell like grass, and when she raised her eyes, Xiao Yizheng's eyebrows and eyes were close in front of her, just like the distance last night, and the exploration and comfort in his eyes at this moment were also the same as last night.

Qingxi blinked twice, only to realize that the two of them were in a very inappropriate position, his hands around her waist and her face resting on his chest. Such a discovery made her heart beat faster again, and then looked around, so many pairs of eyes in this hall stared straight at them. Her face turned from a miserable white to crimson, a red that stretched from her neck to her earlobes. Her two hands quickly pushed Xiao Yizheng away.

Xiao Yizheng quietly withdrew his hand, bowed deeply, and said loudly, "It's this king who is rude, and I hope the girl Haihan." ”

Qingxi hurriedly returned the salute, "It's the courtiers who are distracted and don't see the road under their feet, thank you for your help." ”

I don't know which one said, "Your Highness is very skilled." Everyone who was staring at the two of them began to echo the words. The emperor, who was standing not far away, looked at them quietly and ordered, "Everyone sit down." So the people dispersed.

Xiao Yizheng also strode towards his seat. Qingxi wanted to follow him, wanting to tell him what the emperor had just said to him. The emperor said that sentence very lightly, and only he heard it. Not to mention that she can't keep up with him at all, even in this situation, it is inconvenient for her to say a word to him. She was worried, and heard the emperor instruct, "Su Shilang, Ling Yan is very smart and icy, since I let you bring your family to this Baoding Mountain, I can't let her be absent from this Qing Poetry Meeting, let her sit next to you and watch this talented man compete for romance." ”

Su Deyan hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty has praised it, thank you for your grace." ”

The rest of the hall made eye contact, wondering if the emperor's unruly arrangement had other meanings.

Xiao Yihe, who was sitting in the second seat, took a deep look at Xiao Yizheng, who was sitting on the side, and said in a low voice, "Sixth brother, haven't you seen your father's intentions?"

Su Meng knew. ”

"You could have left it out. Xiao Yi said gently.

"Third brother, anyone, Su Meng will make a move. ”

Xiao Yihe smiled slightly, "Actually, Su Meng also wants to know why her." ”

Xiao Yizheng frowned, didn't reply, and turned to look at Su Meng, who was already sitting next to Su Deyan. At this time, she looked very well-behaved, just sat respectfully, and Su Deyan on the side looked serious, as if she was teaching her something. There was fear on her face, and it turned out that this girl could be undisguised when she was afraid. He didn't know what his father had talked about with her in the Jade Moon Pavilion, but when he saw her kneeling in front of her father so straight, there was no fear on his face. Why did his father choose her? He should think about it.

Su Meng sat next to Su Deyan, and he didn't have the heart to appreciate the poetry and articles at all. She absentmindedly clutched the silk handkerchief in her hand, and she couldn't tell her father next to her now with countless questions in her heart, she sat there like a pins and needles, and glanced at the emperor and Xiao Yizheng from time to time, seeing that they seemed to be really immersed in this poetry conference, and the people of the emperor's family were really masters of hiding their emotions and quietly. She searched Zeng Qidao again and made sure that he was not in this hall, so she took a sip of tea and heard Yuan Yi compose poems again. The hall resounded with bursts of admiration. She lifted her forehead, only to feel a headache, and sighed slightly, how could this uncle be so keen on composing poetry? Xu is sigh was heard by Su Deyan, and he glanced at her fiercely. Qingxi quickly sat up straight, secretly stuck out his tongue, and raised his eyes to look at the seat again. This time, she wanted to take a good look at the three old princes sitting on the other side, King Yu, King Guang, and King Xiang. The three princes had been communicating with each other on their own so far, and she couldn't hear them at all. No, she thought about it, it was impossible for her to contact these three princes, but King Heng had an opportunity. In fact, King Heng must have known who spoke last night. And how much did the Emperor know about last night's events? Or did he know everything? If he knew everything, why did he have to ask himself so much just now? What a mess! She closed her eyes and sighed softly.

"What the hell is going on with you?" asked Su Deyan in a low and stern voice.

Su Meng relieved herself and hurriedly smiled, "It's nothing." ”

"Su Shilang, is this a discussion article with Ling Yan?" the emperor asked, noticing the situation on their side.

"Exactly. Su Deyan replied.

Su Meng smiled even deeper, and thought, Father, you are a bully. Before she could put her smile away, the emperor's question came again: "I've heard this for a long time, do you want Miss Su to try your skills?"

Her eyes were round, but she wanted to give it a try, but when she saw her father's eyes, she lowered her head and replied, "All the ministers are Su Meng, who is talented, and who is knowledgeable about the past and the present. The courtiers are only shallow in their studies, and they dare not make a mistake in front of the holy car and the ministers. ”

"It's okay!" the emperor seemed to be in high spirits.

She looked at her father again, saw that his expression did not change, gritted her teeth, and knelt down, "Your Majesty ordered, I shouldn't have refused, but I really embarrassed the courtier." Her voice was tactful and soft, and at the moment she was still a little aggrieved and anxious, but she was delicate.

The Emperor was very considerate and asked her to get up and reply. "Since you don't want to compose poems, then tell me which one you like the most after listening to this circle?"

Isn't this even more offensive? Qingxi felt a roar in his head.

Xiao Yihe, who was drinking tea to moisten his throat, looked at her and touched Xiao Yizheng beside him. "You can help her out. ”

Xiao Yizheng smiled faintly and shook his head, "She doesn't need Su Meng to break the siege." As he spoke, he looked at Su Meng, who was standing in the center of the hall, and was looking forward to her answer.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is said in the Warring States Policy that if you return to the truth, you will not be disgraced for life. The same is true of the poems that courtiers like. As long as the poems are from the heart, they don't care about the carving, and they are extremely appreciated in the eyes of the courtiers. ”

Xiao Yizheng lowered his head slightly, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, and Xiao Yihe whispered, "If you return to the basics, you will not be disgraced for life." Third brother, you can hear that she is praising everyone, and she is really sarcastic to some people. ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Su Shilang, you have cultivated a good pair of children!"

The ministers also echoed the compliments.

"Since I can't compose poetry, I'll give you a chance to learn it. Come, present the paper, ink, pen and inkstone. At the end of the day, I and the three royal brothers will write a poem, and the theme is up to you. ”

Qingxi was slightly stunned, and as soon as the emperor's words fell, the chamberlain quickly arranged the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Su Deyan saw that he couldn't hide from it, so he also looked at his daughter encouragingly.
